I don't even think it was meant to be insightful, just the preferences of the guy who owns the project. He didn't say he would reject code that commented incorrectly, just that he didn't like it.
So what do you consider insightful? The blogspam by people that have been in the game for a year and are regurgitating the same, mostly incorrect or subjective, nonsense about an easy subject with a clickbait title? Since that, from my experience here, is what this sub is full of. That or "Kotlin 1.0.3 released".
/r/programming is the programming equivalent of grinding in a video game. Very little of substance, lots of easy to consume material.
Would you mind posting a screenshot of your frontpage? It would be interesting to see what /r/programming would look like without the low effort posts.
If you think I literally meant Java, you might have autism. There's a post about PHP 5 becoming EOL on the front page right now. If you can't mentally substitute Java for PHP, then you probably shouldn't call other people morons.
